The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 103
Hearing Xi Gongyue's words, Ye Anran was naturally uncomfortable. She was kind enough to comfort Xi Gongyue. She thought that Zhao Lengyun was a nice person, but she never thought that it would arouse such a big reaction from her.

"Yue'er, don't be rude, this is your second sister-in-law." Huai Wang Xi Gongmo was a little angry, and severely blamed Xi Gongyue.

Xi Gongyue's face was still indifferent: "I don't want you to meddle in my own affairs."

"Who wants to care about you, Zhao Lengyun too, I really don't know what's wrong, but I actually like you?" Nishinomiya Jin retorted, Nishi Gongjin and Nishi Gongyue are of the same year, so sometimes it's natural not to have so many scruples when talking .

"Okay, everyone stop arguing, let's drink tea, it will get cold later." After saying this, Ye Anran turned and went downstairs.

Zhao Fu
Since Zhao Lengyun returned to the mansion that day, he has been in a trance, and he can't concentrate when practicing swords, which will inevitably be blamed by his father.

"Leng Yun, what's the matter with you recently? What's going on in your head? You don't even know that your moves are wrong. Do you know that you are full of loopholes just now. If you were on the battlefield, you might have been killed by the enemy long ago?" Zhao Lengyun's father Zhao Wanshan was very dissatisfied.

As an experienced commander, Zhao Wanshan has always been strict with his son, and he has focused on training his son since he was a child. Of course, he knows his son Mo Ruofu, and he also knows Zhao Lengyun very well. The abnormalities in the past few days have not only made him suspicious .

"Father, I'm fine, maybe... the weather is too cold recently, and I'm a little absent-minded." Zhao Lengyun was extremely perfunctory. He actually wanted to tell his father, but he didn't dare to say it. He was afraid of being blamed by his father, and also afraid of embarrassing the Zhao family. .

"Okay, you can practice for a while, I'm going into the room." Zhao Wanshan went back to the front hall unhappily.

Mrs. Yin Zhao immediately came over with a cup of hot tea: "Master, drink tea."

"Ma'am, has anything unusual happened to Leng Yun recently? For example, where has he been? Or did he meet new friends?" Zhao Wanshan asked impatiently after taking the teacup.

"No, why is the master asking such a polite question?" Yin Zhaoshi did not quite understand her husband's mind and asked.

"It's okay, that may be because I'm too concerned. I always feel that Leng Yun is a weird kid recently, always distracted, and listless when practicing swords. What's going on like this? Our country has always been unhappy with the bordering countries. It is inevitable, how can he do it in this state?" Zhao Wanshan said anxiously.

"Master, don't worry too much. Our Tianmu Kingdom has been the most powerful among these countries since ancient times, and there are many talented people in the army. Even if Leng Yun can't go to the battlefield, isn't there someone from the Xigong family's Rui'an King to protect the country? The master is worrying too much." The Yin Zhao family is a woman's family, so their knowledge is naturally shallower, and they are not as thoughtful as Zhao Wanshan thought.

"Ma'am, you don't understand government affairs, so it's inconvenient for me to tell you more. It's just that... Leng Yun will never succeed if he continues like this. Fortunately, he needs to find out the reason."

Yin Zhaoshi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of something, and said with a smile: "Master, I know, I know why this child Leng Yun is so abnormal?"

Zhao Wanshan was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Madam, please tell me?"

Yin Zhao said slowly, "Master, our family Leng Yun is 17 years old this year, he is no longer a child, but a young man, if he were an ordinary family, he would have married a wife and had children."

"Yeah, why didn't I think of this? I originally planned to let Leng Yun sharpen it for a few more years. Now it seems that it's time to propose a marriage for him. We can start a family and start a business. Only when we have a family can we start a career with peace of mind. That's right. Madam is right, maybe Leng Yun should find a wife." Zhao Wanshan said with a smile.

"Then is there a suitable candidate for the master?" Yin Zhao asked cautiously.

"Well, not really. You know that I'm a general. I'm a rough person. I don't pay attention to those things about children's love except for marching and fighting. Why, is there a suitable candidate for Madam?" Zhao Wanshan thought of Madam at this moment. I often have close contacts with those dignitaries and ladies, and maybe there will be a suitable girl.

Sure enough, Mrs. Yin Zhao smiled: "It's really the master's choice. There are indeed two candidates for the concubine, one is Luo Yuwei, the youngest daughter of Hussar General Luo Meng, and the other is Zheng Yanru, the daughter of Imperial Physician Zheng from a family of imperial physicians. I heard that these two girls are both talented and beautiful, and they are also well-known in Bianjing, there are not a few people who propose marriage, but they have not been settled yet."

"Well, Ma'am, these two candidates are good candidates, but it's a pity that we can never marry General Luo's daughter." Zhao Wanshan said thoughtfully.

"Why can't I marry a concubine if I don't understand?" Yin Zhao didn't understand what her husband meant.

"General Luo is a high-ranking general, and holds a part of the military power. We are also military generals, and we also have the Zhao family army in our hands. If our two families get married, what do you think the emperor?" Zhao Wanshan asked unhurriedly.

Only then did Yin Zhaoshi suddenly realize: "Oh, it turns out that this is the case. I understand it, and the master is afraid of arousing the emperor's suspicion."

Zhao Wanshan nodded: "Well, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. Your Majesty is a shrewd person. He will not allow us to marry the Luo family. In order to preserve our Zhao family's century-old foundation, we cannot marry the Luo family either, madam." The Zheng family mentioned just now, yes, a family of imperial physicians, from a famous family, without military power, is the best candidate, my wife will go to the Zheng family to find out about it, and see if the Zheng family is willing to marry our Zhao family."

"Well, that's fine, but should we tell Leng Yun first before we do this, after all, this is his marriage?" The Yin Zhao family only has such a son, so they are very fond of it, so naturally they have to ask clearly son's opinion.

Zhao Wanshan then nodded: "Well, that's fine, I'll call Leng Yun in later, and we'll ask him what he means."

Zhao Lengyun was practicing sword outside, when he heard his father calling him, he immediately entered the front hall: "Father, mother, are you looking for a child?"

"Leng Yun, sit down and rest for a while, your father has something to discuss with you." Yin Zhao looked at his son with pity and said.

"En." Zhao Lengyun then sat down, ready to listen to his father's words.

"Leng Yun, you are old and young. It's time to get married. I discussed with your mother just now, and I want to talk about a marriage for you. What do you think?" the meaning of.

Zhao Lengyun immediately blushed: "This... the child depends on the parents."

Zhao Lengyun had never thought of getting married so early before, but ever since meeting Xi Gongyue in the teahouse, he has lost his mind, almost to the point where he can't sleep at night without knowing what to eat.

Now that he heard that his father was going to talk about a marriage for him, he was naturally happy. He had been thinking about this issue before. With his father's title of General Qinglong, it should be no problem to go to the emperor to propose a marriage.

Seeing their son's reaction like this, the old couple also knew what was going on, Zhao Wanshan coughed lightly and then said: "Leng Yun, after thinking about it, I think Miss Zheng from a family of imperial physicians is more suitable for you, what do you think? "

"What? Miss Zheng? No, definitely not." Hearing that his father had chosen all the candidates, Zhao Lengyun stood up suddenly, and was no longer calm.

"Why are you excited? Sit down and listen to your father finish slowly." Yin Zhao comforted.

"Father, stop talking, I won't marry that Miss Zheng's family, and you don't know, that Miss Zheng's family has met before, she is very nice, but...?" Zhao Lengyun said here, wanting to speak And stop.

"But how?" Zhao Wanshan asked with a serious face, he didn't understand why his son would reject Miss Zheng's family so much.

"Oh, she... She is the confidante of His Royal Highness King Heng. Although the relationship between the two is not public, they are close. I have seen them in a teahouse before. It is absolutely true." Zhao Lengyun said in one breath. got the truth.

"Oh? It turns out that the Zheng family lady was taken by Hengwang? This is not easy." Zhao Wanshan immediately lowered his face, and all the dreams he had before were shattered.

He clearly knew that even if the Zhao family was a powerful force, they would not be able to compete with the Xigong family. After all, the world belonged to the Xigong family, and King Heng was the emperor's younger brother.

"I haven't heard of this, but since Leng Yun has seen it, there is no falsehood. It seems that we can only find another candidate." Yin Zhao said word by word.

Zhao Wanshan nodded in agreement...

"Father, mother, in fact... In fact, there is someone I like in my heart, but I don't know if you can accept it?" Zhao Lengyun gritted his teeth and said what was in his heart, because he understood that if he didn't say it, then wait for his parents to help him. Once other candidates have been arranged, then there is no way for him to do so.

"Oh? Do you have someone you like? Which girl is it? Tell me." Zhao Wanshan was quite surprised by this, because he never knew that his son would have someone he liked, and he found it very fresh. up.

"That's right, Leng Yun, which girl is it?" Yin Zhao also felt very strange, and they both asked at the same time.

"She...is Xi Gongyue." After Zhao Lengyun took a deep breath, he still said the answer.

"What? Xi Gongyue?" The Zhao family couple asked in unison, their faces not particularly pretty.

"Yes, there is no need to doubt, it is the fourth princess Xi Gongyue. A few days ago, when I was drinking tea in a teahouse, I happened to meet His Highness Hengwang His Royal Highness King Huai went out with the fourth princess. The child fell in love with her at first sight, and invited his parents Complete." Zhao Lengyun knelt down on one knee.

Yin Zhaoshi immediately went forward to support his son: "Leng Yun, what are you doing, get up quickly, your father and I also hope you can be happy, since you have taken a fancy to the fourth princess, it is inevitable, but we have to deal with this matter." Think long term."

"Yeah, what your mother said is right. We really don't know enough about Princess Yue. For so many years, we have only heard that she lives in seclusion in a deep palace, and the door does not leave the second door. We don't know exactly what it is." Zhao Wanshan said slowly. Said slowly.

"Father, mother, believe me, Princess Yue is a very good woman, I believe she is my beloved." Zhao Lengyun has made up his mind, these days his mind is full of the shadow of Xigongyue, he is afraid that he will not be able to marry Xigong Yue vowed not to give up.

"Forget it, although Princess Yue is the adopted daughter of the late emperor, she still has a noble status. The emperor seems to treat her well. Since Leng Yun likes the princess, I will try to propose marriage to the emperor tomorrow and see what the emperor means. Besides." Zhao Wanshan didn't seem to have much objection to this matter.

"My son, thank you for your success." Zhao Lengyun was ecstatic.

"Don't be too complacent. If the emperor doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do." Zhao Wanshan didn't think things went as smoothly as he thought, after all, things would get complicated if he got involved with the royal family.

"En, my child understands." Zhao Lengyun nodded heavily.

next morning morning
After the morning court, Zhao Wanshan did not leave, and met the emperor alone, the emperor was quite surprised by his behavior: "Zhao Aiqing, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, this old minister wants to propose marriage to the Emperor today."

"Propose marriage? For whom?" The emperor was stunned for a moment.

"Propose marriage for Zhao Lengyun, the son of the old official, and propose marriage to Princess Yue." Zhao Wanshan cupped his hands and said.
